describe
At first I only had one mechanical hard disk, and I installed foxmail 7.2.x here to log in a mailbox for a period of time, called mailbox 1.
Later, a solid-state drive was added. I forgot whether to copy the foxmail folder in the machine directly to the solid-state, or re-download and install it to the solid-state and then import the data into the software. In short, I registered two mailboxes in the solid state, one of which is the same as the one registered in the machine, that is, mailbox 1 and mailbox 2 in the solid state, and the foxmail in the machine is no longer used and has not been deleted.
Now, I reinstalled the system, downloaded 7.2.23 and installed it to the original foxmail folder in the machine, and the data in the original machine and solid state are still there, that is, there is G:\Foxmail 7.2 in the machine, and D in the solid state :\Foxmail 7.2, they all have data in them.
Question one
I don't want to use foxmail in the solid state, how to merge the data in the solid state into the machine? Note that it is merged, not imported, because it is possible that some emails in Mailbox 1 have them in the machine, but not in the solid state. This is just a guess. I don’t know how to confirm it. It would be too slow to check one by one in the inbox. What I mean by merging is that, for example, folder 1 and folder 2 each have some data, merging means storing them together in the same folder, instead of writing a record to record two different locations. For the current scenario, it is to merge the data of Mailbox 1 into the machine instead of dividing it into two folders and write a record to record the location of these two folders; for the other Mailbox 2, move or copy the data to mechanical.
question two
If problem 1 cannot be merged, how to import all the data in the solid state (including mailbox 1 and mailbox 2) to the machine? If there are duplicate emails in solid state and machine, will the duplication be eliminated after merging? The menu in the upper right corner-Import-foxmail account shows that the data is not recognized, and I don’t know where to specify the location manually. The foxmail in the solid state is in D:\Foxmail 7.2. I try to specify D:\Foxmail 7.2 or D:\ Foxmail 7.2\Storage does not recognize the account (as shown in the picture), how to import the old data of Foxmail? _Foxmail Help Center says to run the old version again and then import, but I still haven't recognized the account.
solve
For the above two questions, I looked at the following links:
How to import Foxmail old data? _Foxmail Help Center
How to import Foxmail old data? _Foxmail Help Center
None of them can directly solve my problem, and then I asked the official, but I didn't get a reply.
You can only open solid-state and mechanical foxmail at the same time, go to the inbox to compare them one by one, and find that the data is basically the same after the comparison (this is the premise of my method below, I suggest you try the method in the link in question 2 first, before trying First back up the two foxmail folders in the old and new locations , if not, then look down) , that is, the data before adding the solid state (data in the machine), basically can be found in the solid state, except for a few advertising emails that were deleted by me before adding the solid state , causing it to not appear in the solid state. It can be considered that I did not lose data after switching from mechanical to solid state. Of course, it may also be related to my usage habits or methods, or the email settings on the web page (one item is how to set the email client to pull emails from the email server, and what to pull. type of email).
Back up the foxmail folder in the machine and solid state before doing the following operations, that is, back up all your foxmail data before operation, including the data in the old location and the data in the new location.
Then, I can directly delete the existing email data in the machine, and then copy the data in the solid state to the machine, because all the data in the machine are in the solid state (except for some advertising emails). Which files are copied exactly? Based on the links I looked at above, I could make some guesses, which turned out to be correct. For foxmail 7.2, there are two related to user data:
- The FMStorage.list file in the installation directory contains the storage path of the data of each mailbox account
- The Storage folder in the installation directory, which stores the data of each account in units of email accounts
To ensure that the data can be correctly identified, you must have your email account and data storage path in FMStorage.list, and there is a folder with your email as the file name in Storage. This folder contains all the files of your email account. data.
After the adjustment, all my email data was transferred to the machine.
